Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

While the builders were working diligently on the construction, several white birds flew over the coast that had been calm for a long time.

Zero recognized them—a seabird that preyed on shallow-water fish and the occasional insect.

When the ant colony completely occupied the entire island, Zero could occasionally see them flying over.

However, at that time, the ant colony was at its peak. These birds that tried to snatch food from the ants or even directly preyed on the ants were driven away several times by zero dispatching large numbers of air combat units. On several occasions, they were even completely left behind. On the island.

Since then, Zero has rarely seen them. Unexpectedly, they came again at this time. It must have been the activities of the ant colony that attracted them.

However, these white birds seemed not to notice the builders who were digging at all, and were eating some earthworms, small fish and other creatures on the beach as if no one else was watching, quite leisurely and contentedly.

After a while, all kinds of creatures on the coast were cleared away by them.

So, one of them raised his head high, twisted his neck and looked around, then took two steps towards the builder as if hesitating.

Regarding their visit, Zero has no reason not to pay attention when the ant colony is in ruins.

Therefore, while they were moving, He also observed them closely through several explorers.

At this time, I saw that they were tending to come towards the construction site of the ant colony, and I immediately realized that a fight was necessary.

After being cleaned by the tsunami, the number of ant colonies was once reduced to less than a thousand. It is no exaggeration to say that the survivors are only one in ten thousand.

After scrimping on food and clothing last year, Ling finally got a batch of food after the autumn harvest.

In order to maximize the use of this batch of food, He only asked the ant colony to send a small number of builders to build shelters in winter, while all other ant species entered dormancy.

It was not until the ice melted that Zero finally began to expand the size of the ant colony, hatching a batch of about 30,000 logistics troops.

This has almost reached the limit of what the current food reserves can support. In order to build various facilities with all their strength, almost all of these newly hatched ant tribes are builders and diggers.

Therefore, currently, the only ones that can fight in the entire ant group are the hundreds of guards and assassins originally used for hunting, and the pitiful dozens of aerial combat units.

Facing seabirds with the ability to fly, whether they are guardians or assassins, it is basically difficult to use them. Among Zero's many ant species, only those that can fly can pose a certain threat to them.

Moreover, based on the comparison of the current size and mobility of both sides, this threat also needs to be based on a sufficient number. To scare them away, at least a thousand ant colonies are needed!

So now, it can basically be said that ant colonies pose no threat to seabirds.

This was indeed Zero's negligence. He had not fully recovered from the time when the ant colony was at its peak before the disaster. He was busy with the construction and ignored the safety of the ant colony.

Seeing that the seabird that took two tentative steps forward was about to move again, Zero no longer took any chances.

He immediately asked the excavators who were still loosening the soil underground to make it easier for the builders above ground to drill deeper into the ground.

At the same time, the builders on the ground immediately ran towards the simple camp cave that Zero had asked them to build for the convenience of construction.

The simple camp is not far from their construction site, only twenty or thirty meters away. At the speed of the builder, it can be reached in ten seconds by crawling at full strength.

However, things are not so optimistic. The seabird that was about to move forward was frightened by the large number of builders who rushed out of the shallow pit in a very short period of time, and almost flew into the air.

However, it soon realized that the builders were on the run!

So, not only this one, but also several seabirds behind him immediately flapped their wings and raised their wings slightly in the low altitude, rushing towards the enlarged version of the ants.

The size of the Builders is almost the same as that of the Guardians, but because they don't have thick outer armor, they look a bit smaller, but they are still about the size of a small fist. Tens of thousands of such huge insects were running wildly, and no matter what kind of creature they were, they would be frightened.

However, the seabirds in the sky are obviously not included in this group.

They are extremely skilled at flying at low altitude, and when passing above the ant colony, they will bend down and pick up the builders one by one.

The builder, who could only crawl on the ground, had no choice but to flee towards the camp under Zero's command.

Along the way, the desperately escaping builders became a feast for the seabirds. They flew back and forth and snatched away one ant family after another.

Finally, after dozens of seconds, the ants rushed to the entrance of the camp.

However, for safety reasons, the entrance to this camp was built very small and could only allow three builders to enter and exit at the same time.

Although this size is actually almost the same as the mouth of a bowl, for the ants facing an emergency today, it still greatly limits their speed of entering the cave.

The ant colony once again lost dozens of builders because of the obstruction at the entrance to the camp.

Until finally, these seabirds flying in the sky looked at the ants on the ground who were still desperately trying to get to the entrance of the camp, and no longer launched an attack - they were even full!

After circling in the sky for a few times with some reluctance, the seabirds walked away. Looking at it like this, they must be visiting frequently in the future.

Zero looked at the builders who were still crowding into the camp, and felt extremely depressed.

What a shame!

Longyou was tricked by a shrimp in the shallows, and a tiger was bullied by a dog when it fell to Pingyang!

Zero stopped the construction of the aquaculture farm and asked all the ant colonies responsible for the construction to retreat to the temporary camp, where Zero had already stored a batch of food, which was enough to sustain them for a period of time.

He was almost certain that these seabirds that had flown away would definitely come back again after seeing such easy access to food, and they might even bring more companions!

Therefore, Zero must first drive away all these reckless seabirds, at least so that they dare not come again, before he can safely allow the logistics troops to continue the construction.

And to do this, he must use the reserved food in the strategic granary to breed a large number of ant aerial units!

This was a decision made out of necessity. It was impossible for Zero to abandon the construction just because of these seabirds, let alone allow them to prey on the ants wantonly!

Therefore, the only way is to beat them in pain and scare them so that they don't dare to come again!

In the next few days, the logistics units in the ant colony fell into silence, while the queens began to produce air combat units with all their strength.

Five days later, the logistics troops in the temporary camp climbed out of the ground again and rushed toward the original construction site.

A group of dozens of seabirds that had been hanging around the coast for the past few days immediately became energetic after seeing them. They attacked the logistic ants from the air without any concealment.

However. What they didn't realize was that at the same time as they took off, densely packed ant aerial combat units with long wings and sharp legs flew up behind the builders' army, numbering in the tens of thousands!

In order to get rid of this group of seabirds once and for all, Zero Basics used the supply of strategic grain reserves to produce them to the limit!
